Cortivazol and AZD2906 are more protective than Dex against acute TNF-induced SIRS in vivo. Female C57BL/6J mice aged 8 weeks were gavaged with 1 mg/kg Dex or an equimolar dose of Cortivazol or AZD2906 dissolved in 100 µl HPMC. One hour after gavage, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with 50 µg mTNF per 20 g bodyweight. Survival was monitored. None of the mice died after 72 h after the TNF challenge. Survival curves were compared with a Mantel-Cox test. Significant differences compared to HPMC (above survival curves) and Dex (indicated with dotted−) are given. P-values < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 are represented by *, **, *** or **** respectively. Non-significant differences are not indicated on the graph. Results of two pooled experiments are shown. HPMC: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Dex: Dexamethasone, TNF: Tumor Necrosis Factor.
